Think my One is totally bricked

Hello
First off, thank you in advance. Now to the matter.
My One is completely stuck on bootloader. I tried almost everything but no luck. If i let him do normal boot, it just shows me a black screen and reboots again, over and over. After the update i cannot get acess to fastboot because windows (8.1) tells me that the device is not known. Before the update it was all ok (i had OTA 4.3).
I cannot install a custom recovery, i cannot install anything. Tried to find a RUU.exe for my CID/MID but without luck.
The strange think is that after i update to latest kit kat, i got this (text in red):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I can´t do "fastboot getvar all" because i have no acess to fastboot commands.
The only thing i can do is put he phone to charge and pray to the XDA gurus
CID: VODAP102
MODEL: PN07100
SIMLOCK: NO
Anything you need to help me out, just say so and i´ll try and do my best.
Thank you

Was this OTA update or did you try and install a file manually?

whatever you do don't s-on...
will be easier to recover from.
did you relock your bootloader for any particular reason?
Oh, and don't worry - Win 8 has problems with 'talking' to your device when it's in bootloader mode.
Your phone isn't bricked. Just don't be fiddling about with it until one of the guru's with this type of issue gives you some advice.

If you have another computer or a friend with Windows 7 it won't be hard to fix at all

1- the red OS line, is because your firmware flash didnt go through, whether you did it manually or not.
if you do it manually, you do:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip <- yes TWICE, if you don't do it twice you'll get the red OS line
fastboot reboot-bootloader
2- your hboot should work with Win8.1, what does it show up as in device manager? anything like this:
3- or just use an Ubuntu Live USB (no need to install, just use Try Ubuntu)

1. I tried that method before because of the bootloop and did it twice with success. Maybe something went wrong.
2. Thats the strange thing. Hboot 1.55 should indeed work but it doesn´t. And yes, thats exactly what it shows. I tried to enter security mode on win8 and do the unsigned trick, but as soon as i change to modified drivers, my mouse and keyboard stop working, so its a no go.
3. Will test that, but i dont know exactly how to mess good with linux.
And for all of you, thank you for your time. Will update as soon as i find something new.

Look in my FAQs, there's instructions there for Ubuntu Live USB + fastboot install
remember in linux, you'll need to use "sudo fastboot ...."

reflash the firmware, to get it out of "limbo"
sudo fastboot oem rebootRUU
sudo fastboot flash zip <name of firmware>.zip
sudo fastboot flash zip <name of firmware>.zip <- yep TWICE
sudo fastboot reboot-bootloader
then firmware will be back, and you can reinstall custom recovery, and flash ROM

I think i won´t be needing Ubuntu. My laptop has 1 USB 2.0 port and i could make it recognize my One.
Will try those steps now.
Will i be able to go full stock from there?
Update: I did the firmware flash sucessfull. Now whats next?

Well where do you want to go?
BTW: i checked your first post (it doesn't say what you want to achieve), but FYI you are S-Off, so no need to LOCK/RELOCK bootloader to flash in ruu mode!!
In aviation terms: "Kindly keep you bootloader unlocked, if you are s-off"

Update 1: Tried to flash TWRP recovery but it tells me "FAILED (remote:not allowed)
So now i am stuck in bootloader because i can´t install a custom recovery.
I want full stock rom.

Another brand is ok, but HTC has some crazy stuff around the One.

1- like @nolimit78 said, you will have to unlock bootloader (you shouldnt even have locked it in the first place), can you do that? or do you need alternate methods to do that?
2- you still haven't answered my question: what is your goal?

1. I still have the "Unlock:code.bin" from HTCDev, so yes, it is possible.
2. My goal is to get a full stock rom for my CID (VODAP102) so i can go and do the future OTA´s.

[Q] Soft Bricked my m7, adb and fastboot not working

I created a backup using twrp 2.6 , and just to be sure I tried restoring it, however it failed to restore and now i cant boot. I've bootloader and recovery working, however neither fastboot or adb sideloading is working so that i can flash another rom.

sorry to answer you with more questions, but.....
what is the complete version of your recovery? 2.6.0.0? 2.6.3.3?
Why does it failed? any error message? What partitions did you backed-up and restored?
What is your adb version? you need 1.0.29 and above to use sideload
Code:
adb version
do you have installed your drivers to use fastboot and adb? What does it say in windows device manager when your phone is in bootloader? and in recovery?
What is your computer OS?
What is your bootloader version?

2. The backup was successfully created, i still have it, but when im trying to recover it it does not give any error message the log I get above is:
[RESTORE STARTED]
It restores the boot, and data.
then, I see:
Wiping System
Formatting System using make_ext4fs function.
Restoring System...
and then I see a message Failed flashed at the top of the scree.
3. adb version is 1.0.31
4. My drivers worked perfectly tomorrow, thats when I rooted my m7,so today I thought of flashing a custom rom, I took a backup using twrp and just to be sure it was all backed up, I tried restoring it, however it failed with the same message,also today the drivers dont seem to be working after the failed restoration, the device manager shows it as a portable device today when connected in recovery, whereas was showing it as an android device yesterday.
When in fastboot mode, a message showing installing android 1.0 is flashed and the phone also shows connected to FASTBOOT USB, but the fastboot devices command returns nothing and so does the adb devices command.
5. I have a windows 8.1 system.
6.Bootloader Details are:
M7_U PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT-1.57.0000
RADIO-4T.27.3218.14

First you will need to fix your drivers issue.
try this fix:
originally from @nkk71: [GUIDE] [02-MAR-2014] nkk71's SuperGUIDE to returning 100% back to stock
2) Q: I'm using Windows 7 what should I worry about
A: when you issue the command "fastboot boot CWM.img" (now only in CWM/TWRP restore method) there's a high chance drivers won't correctly install

}
follow the below instructions to fix
Open "Device Manager" -> select the unknown "One" -> right-click -> "Update Driver Software ..." -> "Browse my computer" -> "Let me pick" -> "Android USB Devices" -> select "My HTC ..." -> install that
just in case, HTC Drivers can be found here: [Drivers] HTC Drivers for Windows - Several Versions (credits to @mdmower)
though you should already have them since you have been using your phone anyways​
for those who like a visual guide:
okay so I did a fastboot boot command, and as you can see it didnt install correct driver
Open "Device Manager"
there's the culprit
right click and Update Driver Software
select Browse my computer for driver software
select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
select Android USB Devices
select My HTC ... (if you have more than one version, choose the latest)
warning, select Yes
successful installation
now it looks better
and can confirm:
Code:
C:\ADB3>[B]adb devices[/B]
List of devices attached
HTxxxxxxxxxx recovery
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if it doesn't works, try different usb ports, different cables even another computer (best would be a win 7 computer, not 8.1). make sure you are not using any usb hub, connect phone dirrectly to computer, usb 2.0 ports preferred.
then when your drivers will be fixed. flash twrp 2.6.3.3 (anyway almost all newer rom required at least 2.6.3.3), clear cache and boot in recovery. try to restore the backup again. if it still fail, you'll be able to push and flash a rom to your phone.
also post the output of ''fastboot getvar all'' except imei and serialno when your drivers issues are fixed.

im out for today, but im sure other members will comes here to assist. ill be back tomorrow
good luck

Got it working, turns out the drivers were fine, you have to switch the HTC Sync Manager once and the drivers start working properly.
Thanks for your help.
Would be grateful if you can give a guide to choosing a rom to flash ( odexed or de-odexed)
Thanks !

There is no guide for choosing a rom here, because rom comparison threads aren't allowed. Rom preferences are always subjective, you will need to find one that fits what you need.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one#romList
always read the rom OP carefully before flashing. Some roms have specific requirements. (i.e using a specific recovery, or s-off requirement for GPE roms)

[Q] TWRP 2.5.0.0 Unresponsive

Hello,
I while ago I decided to root my HTC to get some extra stuff. I used a guide on youtube that seemed to be reasonably well made and followed everystep of the process. But before I could root it I had to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP recovery. I got the latest version and proceeded to the next step, where I encountered my problem. After flashing the recovery everything seemed to be well except that my phone wasn't actually rooted. I decided to redo some of the last steps. This is where things get a bit tricky. I have done this quite a while ago (maybe 3-4 months) and don't exactly remember the steps that I repeated but I think I've also flashed TWRP a second time, as well as some other steps. And when it came to the part where I needed to use the recovery I found out that the recovery doesn't work. I can't press anything on the screen, I can however press the lock button and lock the device but when the *slide to unlock* appears it stops working again. I was running out of time and decided to leave it for another time but time has passed and I never really got the time to tinker with it any more since university started and I'm more busy then ever. This has left me with no ability to root or even update my phone.
This brings me to today, when I restored my phone completely forgetting what has happened. It got back to Android 4.1 and I can't do anything about it.
I hope to sort this out and finally root the phone. But even getting rid of TWRP to the original recovery so I could just update my phone would be very helpfull.
Thank you very much.

download the file and save it in the same folder where you have installed minimal adb and fastboot
then open the command prompt and with the phone in bootloader/fastboot mode enter these commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
What do you want to achieve then? Custom rooted rom? stock rooted rom (latest version)? or you simply what to root the rom you currently have?

no just flash the rom from twrp recovery then you can root it if you want.

Phone keeps rebooting after ROM flash.

Hey. I got a problem with my beloved M7. Few days ago I gave a chance to CM12, but I got bored of it and tried to flash InsertCoin 4.0.5. Everything went well but now my phone boots up and locks the screen. If I unlock the screen, a green HTC logo on white background appears. After few seconds of showing the logo the phone reboots and locks the screen again. I can freely access the TWRP, but I have no backup and I lost CM12 installing files. Please can someone help me bring my lovely phone back to life?
P.S sorry for my English

Just follow this guide, it should help:
Originally posted by @alrayHTC ONE M7_U/M7_UL - ADB PUSH & FLASH A ROM - DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS
Prerequisites:
You need ADB and FASTBOOT on your computer,
either by installing the Android SDK or Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT
You need to know how to start a fastboot/adb command prompt:
To open a command window prompt, in Windows go to Start Menu --> ''Run'' then type cmd. Change the directory to the ADB folder on your machine:
If using the default install location for the SDK:
Code:
cd C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools
If using the default install location of Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT:
Code:
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Or hold left shift + right click a blank space inside the folder where adb and fastboot are located and select ''Open command window here'' from the contextual menu.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You need TWRP recovery on your device.
We still recommend to use version 2.6.3.3 for all roms
except if another version is specified in the rom OP.
Use 2.7.1.1+ for roms that require "block:by-name" support (CM11)
Unlock bootloader if not already unlocked:
Thanks to Electroz for the video tutorial
Flash TWRP Recovery:
Make sure the recovery.img file is in the same folder where adb and fastboot are located
(C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools or C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
reboot phone in bootloader mode
Flash the recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
You need your HTC drivers correctly installed on your PC:
If not, follow this guide (thanks to nkk71):
originally from @nkk71: [GUIDE] [02-MAR-2014] nkk71's SuperGUIDE to returning 100% back to stock
follow the below instructions to fix
Open "Device Manager" -> select the unknown "One" -> right-click -> "Update Driver Software ..." -> "Browse my computer" -> "Let me pick" -> "Android USB Devices" -> select "My HTC ..." -> install that
just in case, HTC Drivers can be found here: [Drivers] HTC Drivers for Windows - Several Versions (credits to @mdmower)
though you should already have them since you have been using your phone any ways
for those who like a visual guide:
okay so I did a fastboot boot command, and as you can see it didn't install correct driver
Open "Device Manager"
there's the culprit
right click and Update Driver Software
select Browse my computer for driver software
select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
select Android USB Devices
select My HTC ... (if you have more than one version, choose the latest)
warning, select Yes
successful installation
now it looks better
and can confirm:
Code:
C:\ADB3>[B]adb devices[/B]

HTxxxxxxxxxx recovery

Procedure:
Make sure the ROM you want to flash is in the same folder where ADB and FASTBOOT are.
(C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools or C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
Here is a list of the HTC M7 roms. Some other roms can be found here.
Connect your phone to computer using usb cable
(if not using the official HTC USB calble, make sure
you are using a USB data cable and not only a charging
cable. Data cables have 4 contacts: 5V, GND, DATA+, DATA-.
Charging cable only have 5V and GND contact and will not work)
Reboot phone in recovery mode (TWRP):
If phone is booted in OS:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
if not booted or bootlooping, hold power button + volume down until phone boot in bootloader mode
then select BOOTLOADER then RECOVERY using volume up/down to navigate and power button to select.
Make sure your phone is booted in TWRP main menu:
transfer the rom to your /sdcard folder:
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard/
Wait for the zip file to transfer, this can take several minutes (5-15) and there is no progress bar, the command prompt will be unresponsive for that duration. When the command prompt is responsive again and display how much bytes transferred in X seconds, the transfer is completed:
In TWRP main menu, select ''INSTALL''
Browse the installation menu and select your rom zip file inside /sdcard folder:
Swipe to confirm you want to flash the rom
Reboot phone

Sounds like another one with Unknown IMEI and baseband
Follow @alray guide as posted by @majmoz if the problem persists try flashing CM11 then go to Settings>About>Phone Identity and check your IMEI is displayed correctly there. Also check baseband in Settings>About>Software Information>More.

First you should edit you post and remove your imei. You don't want to make that public
If you could post the output of

it would be helpful you should also remove your imei and serial number before posting :good:
but the fact the imei and baseband don't display Unknown in settings is good

To get the getvar info your Device should be in the bootloader in fastboot usb mode.
Then send the fastboot getvar all command.

@Danny201281 Yeah, I tried to do this in fastboot mode. Windows pop up says that there is unrecognized device connected, what shouldn't have even happened because I have the latest HTC drivers(2.0.7.27) from HTC Sync.

It's common for Windows drivers to fail like this. You can check in device manager you phone should be listed a "MY HTC"
Other than that try connecting to a different usb port. USB2.0 ports are best. :good:

We need to know your CID, MID and Version Main which is all in the getvar. In any case you will need fastboot working to flash your firmware.

Sorry i can't help with adb/fastboot problems when running Linux as a VM. I've never used linux as a virtual machine in windows, and your knowledge of Windows it's self is probably better than mine especially Windows 8. I'm confident there is no problem with your device this is a connectivity issue most probably caused by drivers. Hopefully @majmoz or @clsA can help you get it working on windows 8.
Although booting your laptop from a usb shouldn't be that difficult. You just need to change the boot order in the bios. The bios can be accessed normally by pressing "Delete" or "F2" during the first boot screen on your laptop. Then change the boot settings so that USB is the first boot device. What make is your laptop?

Required Help with connecting phone to PC in order to root

I am trying to root my device, to the final goal of installing a Nougat build on it. Been browsing through lots of guides, including this one which looks rather friendly:
https://www.idroidspace.com/how-to-root-htc-one-m7/
The problem is that the software did not recognize my phone.
I have enabled USB debugging. the PC detects the phone, I also have HTC Driver installed (downloaded HTC Sync Manager).
I also unlocked the boot-loader in the past, with success to the best of my knowledge (anyway I can confirm?).
Another problem I got that may come from the same source is that when opening command prompt and putting ADB Devices it wouldn't detect anything.
I have already old version of TWRP installed but I cannot flash the nougat from it, and in order to update the TWRP I wanted to root the device.
Am pretty much a beginner but can follow orders.

It's a waste of time to root if you're planning to flash a Nougat rom. It's a well spread misconception when ppl say "I want to root my phone" cause you're not rooting the phone, you're rooting the operating system on it (the rom). Most custom roms are pre-rooted so when flashing it on your phone you'll already have root. If you flash a non-rooted rom over your already rooted rom, you'll loose root hence why it's a waste of time to do it now. The only thing needed to flash a custom rom is a unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery.

Make sure you have the latest drivers version. ADB commands are only usable when booted in the OS with usb debugging turned on and you also need to unlock your screen once after connecting the phone to your PC. ADB commands will also work when booted in TWRP recovery. WIll not work in bootloader mode where you have to use FASTBOOT commands.

TWRP 2.6.3.0 is really outdated. This version does not have the required kernel to support the fstab file system used by recent roms. You need at least twrp 2.7.1.1, or the latest version: 3.1.N0.0
Are you using the original usb cable that came with the phone? If no you might want to double check if your usb cable is capable of data transfer (there are usb cables that only have the +5v and ground connections for charging but not the data+ and data- connections). Try another usb ports/cable.

You need to uninstall HTC sync manager, otherwise it will not work.
Or eaven better way is to install just naked drivers instead of sync manager.
